Three 53 Foot Dry Van Trailers

Isothermal Community College in North Carolina is seeking competitive, sealed bids from qualified vendors to furnish three brand new, 53-foot dry van trailers to be used in the college's Customized Training's Truck Driving Program. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) provides detailed specifications for the required trailers, including dimensions, undercarriage design, exterior and structural components, electrical systems, and finish. Bidders must submit their responses by November 18, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the specified requirements. The IFB also outlines pricing requirements, including the need for bidders to provide a total cost for the three trailers, as well as addressing HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, references, financial stability, and insurance requirements.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract will be awarded for the supply of the requested trailers, with delivery to the college's location in Spindale, North Carolina. While the IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, it is possible that the college has existing infrastructure or technology that the new trailers will need to integrate with. The IFB does not provide an exact award value or budget range, but as a competitive bidding process, the final contract value will be determined by the winning bid.
